I don't think anyone has really tested rebuilding a volume while the 

system is running.



I'd be interested in the results of changing the definition of IDA_QCB_MAX 

from 256 to 128.



See sys/dev/ida/idavar.h:



     #define    IDA_QCB_MAX    256

Hi Matthew,

One of my DL360's with smart array controller is hanging (and resetting) about once a month with a similar error as reported by Tonix. Do you recommend changing IDA_QCB_MAX to 128?

Apparently the OP had good results with this change. Why is the value still 256 in the current version of sys/dev/ida/idavar.h?

What is the status of the ida patches (found in your ftp site)?
